Rays manager Joe Maddon has no issue with sign-stealing, which sparked Monday's confrontation between Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Orioles counterpart Buck Showalter. "Everybody should try to steal the other team's signs," Maddon said. "And if you let your signs out there to be stolen, it's your fault, period. That's part of the game to steal signs, man, absolutely. I love trying to do that." As for whom he'd pick in a Girardi-Showalter throwdown? "I don't know, you've got youth vs. experience right there."

Joe's great adventure

Manager Joe Maddon had planned to spend Monday's off day hanging out in his new 40-foot Tiffin Phaeton RV at Fort De Soto, but a transfer switch failed, forcing him to draw all power from the generator, so he went home instead to wait for a repair: "Kind of frustrating. It has a great reputation. It's the Titanic, and it goes down the first time out."
